Latterbarrow

Walked on 21/12/2011

Start point: Colthouse (SD 360 988)

Latterbarrow (OF) from Colthouse

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 143 metres     Time Taken: 30 minutes     Start Time: 11:35

Weather: Overcast, relatively warm. 9ºC

On this, the shortest day of the year, it was surprisingly mild at a heady 9C. Normally we would be in the depths of winter and have a bit of snow around. Of course it is still there on the higher tops, it was just that I couldn’t see it today. There were some interesting conditions to be observed from lowly Latterbarrow though with the low lying mist hanging in the valleys and across Windermere.

This view across Windermere from Hammar Bank caught my eye, the only clear place I had seen all morning...looks like a good bet for a walk across there today...
